Can anyone recommend any hair salons in Florida close to Orlando that can handle Ethnic hair, or african american hair?
There's a salon called Govias and it's in orlando, look it up online. They are awsome, my stylist is rebecca, she definetley knows how to do hair!
Does it damage the hair in anyway? {for African American hair}
Can you use conditioner in place of oil sheen or petroleum jelly, and other oils?
It is absolutely fine to use conditioner on days you don't shampoo. It is not neccessary to wash your hair every day. Especially if your hair is extremely dry or course, like African American hair. Conditioner won't harm a thing...seriously! Shampoo is to cleanse your scalp, conditioner is to soften and protect your ends. I am a hair stylist. 9 years. Conditioner is perfectly fine, but do cleanse every 2-3 days.
Davey looks white to me. Conditioner will weigh the hair down and make it appear greasy.
No.
I used to use hair conditioner to wash my hair all the time because it is so thick and conditioner would straighten it out.
I would think conditioner is alright to use but your hair will get dirty quicker without using a shampoo to wash it and just using conditioner...I have done it many times but not anymore.
I believe that unless it says that is it a leave-in conditioner then you should wash it out. The conditioner is to condition by adding what the shampoo took out. You can leave it in longer. I would suggest finding a leave-in conditioner.
I would say yes but put the leave in conditioner in your? hair. Try syling products like Beyond the Zone leave in conditioner. It works great. I am pretty sure THIS one might do good. There are others to. But if you use regular wash out conditioner it will make your? hair look nasty.
well it may get dirtier way faster and make your hair look greesy. my mom doess hair and thats what she had told me.
generally for hygenic sake, we suppose to wash our hair b4 applying hair conditioner.
secondly, whereby you fail to wash your hair, u are simply attracting dandruff into ur hair.
finally, a well washed conditioned hair look more attractive, neat and simple both for African and American hair.
yeah, if you want oily nasty hair. (no, don't go there)
No. Please don't try that with the normal "rinse-after-applying". According to a magazine I read some time ago, it can cause buildup which could possibly lead to dandruff, itching, or oiliness. It might also make your hair seem limp and heavy because the conditioner might end up weighing your hair down.
However, there are some leave-on conditioners which can give hair look shinier, minus the heavy feel of the first kind (of conditioner). Of course, the formulation of the leave-on type is different from the traditional "rinse-after-applying" type.
1st of all hair is hair doesn't matter ethnic background. it is still made up of the same properties. products can be left in the hair that is why they make them. African American hair has a tendency to be drier and more unmanageable so you would benefit the most from this it is called conditioner not damager
Conditioner is one thing
oils are another thing.
African Americans hair is works the same as any other hair, the only difference is MOST African Americans that you run into have chemically straightened hair!
no! it wont damage ur hair!! it will amke it smother n will look better , it also prevent hair from puffing. but there are also hair creams that u can use in set of oils n jelly stuffs that damage ur hair use sunsilk..use it after the shower..
good luck!!
Im trying to decide between to different hair stores that gear towards african american hair and i need to know if any one has an opion on either one the first is pretty well known Carol's Daughter and the second is EbeneKids.they both use all nautural ingredients and are both geared towards kinky to wave hair(i have to little girls with two totally different hair textures)if anyone knows about these products please tell me if its worth getting and which one is better
CAROL'S DAUGHTER
i have heard so much about this stuff that i tried it - WOW.
it's not only good for african american hair, but tahitian, hawaiian, australian hair. dry, coarse, thick, curly type hair.
it also works well on finer hair.
i'm a professional and there aren't many non professional products i would suggest, but this is one i will.
take care
Neither ... use Whale Blubber and hoarse manure the smell is bad at first but, you get use to it. Rinse and repeat...You will have the best - most stylish hair in the world....
my wife bought some hair straightener yesterday. and she has straight hair anyway
it made me very I'll
curly hair is pretty
i personally think EbeneKids
Well i am unfamiliar with those but I can tell you what i use and look for. I am mixed with Indian and Black so i have very long tight thick but soft frizzy curls. the ONLY thing that can tame this mane is something HEAVY like the black colored gels and lite grease like pink moisturizer. curly hair takes more maintenance than permed hair-oh yea....NEVER PERM IT!!! and don't confuse kinky with curly-they require different processes. Kinky products tend to be waxy and sticky because they are for holding down natural hair. curly products should focus on keeping the hair moisturized and not frizzy. but for little kids i love the just for me line i use a mixture of the greases and gel in my little girls hair. if you plan on straightning it make sure to use a pressing wax like dax.
my daughter hair gets curly and tangled easily...i use dove products and an electric hot-comb it does wonders for her hair it really straightens it and i only have to do it once a month in the summer months i take her to a braid shop to have her hair braided (no extensions she's only five) my daughter has alot of hair and this really helps because she loves the pool!
I use Mane N' Tail, it's used for horse manes and tails(lol), but it's safe for human use, it has instuctions on the bottle. I find that Panten Pro-V for women of color works well too. I oil my hair with African oil, by African Pride. You can use Hot 6 oil as well, but idk who it is by.
i heard of carol's daughter and would like to purchase some of her products. does anyone know or have had a personal experiences they can share. also, i would like to know what works best for natural (non-relaxed) african american hair. i would prefer to usual all natural products. my hair has gotten so long and frizzy, i don't know what to do with it. i just want to cut it off..... thanks!
Personally, I don't use any Carol's Daughter products, but I've heard other naturals rave about Carol's Daughter's Hair Milk.
What works for my hair:
* No-pooing w/ VO-5 Conditioners (my hair tends to dry out w/ Shampoo, and co-washing leaves my hair soft %26amp; moisturized)
* EVOO %26amp; Motions moisturizer - I use Motions to moisturize my ends, and then put the EVOO on to lock it in. It protects my ends, so I don't have to trim as often.
* Clarifying w/ Baking soda and water leaves my hair soft and detangled
*Deep Conditioner- Motions Moisturizing Cond.
* Pre-cond. w/ mayo, egg %26amp; lemon juice (sounds yucky but it makes my hair strong and shiny)
Also: Castor Oil, Coconut oil, and indian oils, such as Keshvardhini and Amla Oil, are great for the hair.
I use a bunch of other products (lol), but I don't know if they qualitfy as all-natural products. With long, natural hair, I agree that it's sometimes frustrating, but I find that if I just put my hair in protective styles, such as braids or buns, it allows me to exhale and to not have to worry about it so much.
Hope that helped. =)
I'd like to know as well. I keep my hair in braids because it is too much to deal with, my hair is only shoulder length but it is EXTREMELY THICK and after I take down my braids I get this HUGE AIR FRO, that is so hard to manage. So I stay with braids.
i have a permenant dye but you can't really see any violet in my hair so i wanted to get a semi permenant dye in a light purple but i'm afraid i would have to bleach it. if i did bleach my hair what would happen once the purple washed out? would my hair just be bleached blonde?
I have always been told by my mother and stylist to never put permanent dye in my hair because it is too harsh and could cause breakage. So with that said
I would suggest not to bleach your hair because when the purple washes out it will probably look orangey-yellowish. And that's not a cute look on most black girls. But it could be cute on you...who knows.
If you have the opportunity to go to a beauty salon, I would recommend that because my best friend has had major problems with her hair (she was the one with orangey-yellowish hair) because of her at home dye jobs.
I would like to do the proccess of straightening my hair at home like they do at the beauty shop, and I need to find a good product but one that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg.
I have ultra frizzy hair, and at the beauty shop they have to use african american hair products on me to get the job done. So, i need something strong.
Anyone got any good tips too? On how to straighten hair even without a formula. Or, if you know of any good products that would help.
Thanks in advance!
Ogilvie defrizzer and two weeks later do the Ogilvie straightener
Read some hair straightening tips and more on this site
i have wavy almost african american hair, it use to be all the way down my back but then i cut it about shoulder length. i want to get it to grow out but it hasnt since i cut it. i usually style it in a natural bun or straighten it. am i doing anything wrong? what can i do to get it to grow back??
I have curly hair as well, and I find that when I have my hair cut, it seems like it takes FOREVER to grow out.
The first reason this could be happening is that because your hair has less weight when it's shorter, it tends to have more curl. Your hair *IS* growing, but because the curl structure is tighter, it shrinks up more when it's dry.
Second, if your hair is anything like mine, it took ages to get past my shoulders in the front b/c the curls just sat on my shoulders and seemed like it was the same length for ages. It's just because they they take full advantage of having something that supports the weight and allows the hair to curl more.
Third, straightening is *very* damaging to your hair. You'll end up with more breakage which means less length. Wearing a bun isn't good for it either b/c the pressure on the hair can cause breakage and the tightness can actually encourage hair loss.
If you want to encourage your hair to grow more quickly, wear your hair a little more loosely up in a clip or other more gentle way. Be sure to use products designed to repair damaged hair. Deep moisturize at least once a week. You also might want to consider taking a look in the African American part of the hair products aisle - they actually sell products that are designed to help your hair grow.
Good luck!
how long ago did you cut it?????
on average hair grows 1/2 and inch per month
be sure to have regular trims to help prevent split ends and protect your hair from those heat appliances and you should see results
no, you aren't doing anything wrong. but, unfortunately, there is no way to have your hair grow back faster, however you can opt for hair extensions if you want the long hair look. Personally, i would just wait, because extensions are a hassle. Good luck and i hoped i helped....
first if you have split ends you have to cut em off
and dont put it in a bun. not to be mean but its not very attractivve
Well African American hair naturally grows a lot slower than a lot of other types of hair. This is because of its dry texture. What I suggest is using cholesterol by queen helene (it's the cheapest and works the best) and deep soaking it in your hair. Wash and condition your hair then put on the cholesterol on for as long as you can (I usually do it for hours). Then rinse your hair in as cold water as you can stand. This will leave the most moisture soaked into your hair. By doing this your hairs texture will become a lot smoother and healthier causing it to grow a lot faster. Also, get some heat resistant spray and use it on your hair before you put any heat on it. It will cause your hair not to fry.
All of these things can be found at any Rite Aid.
OK, I know this may sound weird but I'm polish/american. But when i had short hair i asked my mom what to do? I still have short hair.(shoulder length) She said eat bread and eat the crust.(i hate that part) Also, vegetables and fruit. You are not doing anything wrong. When you cut your hair, you have a whole new style. So its doesn't start to grow in a while. Because you cut it so it has to get used to it. Its worth waiting. Hope you like my answer! GL on the hair help!
